Chapter 245: Chapter 145: Sea Domain Calamity

A moment later, Master Huangshi brought several cultivators from the Five Elders Association of the Sea Domain to a barren mountain in the east.

“How were you captured by the Demon Cultivators?”

“Reporting to the elder, we were originally cultivators from the Five Elders Association of the Sea Domain and have had interactions with inland cultivators in recent years.

We’ve maintained a good relationship with the Guangyuan Sect of the Chu Kingdom.

Until over twenty years ago, when Master Ye barged into the sect alone, claiming there was a Golden Corpse under the Spirit Vein, and forcibly attacked the Spirit Vein.

At that time, although the people of the Guangyuan Sect did not dare to resist, they had quite a few misunderstandings about him in their hearts.

Later, the Celestial Secret Pavilion brought experts to protect the Guangyuan Sect properly and drove away Master Ye, saying that Master Ye was an Evil Cultivator.

Afterward, the Guangyuan Sect was sealed off by experts from the Celestial Secret Pavilion, and we lost contact with them.

It wasn’t until recently, when the Celestial Secret Pavilion left, that we tried to reconnect,

only to find that the Demon Sect had arrived.

It was only then that we learned Master Ye was actually a just person, and the Celestial Secret Pavilion was the henchman of the Demon Sect…”

The people explained the events one by one.

Li Jizhou nodded slightly; everything matched the timeline he was aware of.

The Guangyuan Sect was a sect supported by a group of cultivators who fled from the Qi Kingdom after the Formation Liu family was driven away by the Sea Domain cultivators. Unlike the Celestial Spirit Sect and the Formation Liu family, it was relatively relaxed and formed many good relationships. As long as one passed the three tests of talent, temperament, and fortune, they could enter the sect for cultivation!

The first Sect Leader was a Late Stage Foundation Establishment inner disciple of the Golden Sun Sect of the Qi Kingdom.

“Oh no, elder, please go to our Sea Domain. A few days ago, when we were captured, some of our companions were subjected to Soul Searching. Subsequently, another Great Demon along with several others from the Demon Sect went to the Sea Domain. I’m worried…” Suddenly, one of the Sea Domain cultivators remembered something and his face dramatically changed.

Li Jizhou furrowed his brow slightly, having kept these people behind for questioning, he had this very concern.

The Demon Sect, to accelerate the nurturing of Golden Corpses, required the essence blood of many High-Tier cultivators, and the Southern Domain had the most Foundation Establishment stage cultivators only in the Sea Domain.

Without a word, Master Huangshi’s foot flickered with light, and he flew toward the Five Elders Association of the Sea Domain.

The Sea Domain cultivators exhaled a long breath of relief.

Yet their hearts still worried about their wives and children on the islands, and they promptly followed.

However, their Spirit Ship had already been seized by the Demon Cultivators, making the journey across the Sea Domain’s spiritual energy storm a near-certain death. Moreover, even if they followed the elder, they feared becoming a burden, eventually having no choice but to wait by the sea for reinforcements from the island.

——–

In the vast Sea Domain, Guagua the king returned.

Without needing Li Jizhou’s divine sense transmission, Guagua leapt out of the Spirit Pet Bag on its own.

Upon entering the water, it was like a dragon returning to the sea, with a sense of grandeur.

The sea does not come to welcome, I shall come!

Originally, if Master Huangshi were in the Middle Stage of Core Formation, he wouldn’t fear the spiritual energy storm. However, since it was merely a puppet surrogate, he had no choice at this moment but to stand on Guagua’s back, riding the winds and waves.

Half a month later, the Seven Islands of the Sea Domain came into view.

And above the central main island, immense and chaotic magical power fluctuations could be felt.

It was clear that a great battle was breaking out on the main island.

Li Jizhou immediately ordered the puppet and Guagua to act separately.

Guagua secretly entered the vicinity of the main island from the seabed to observe the situation.

The puppet Master Huangshi landed on Linglong Island, concealing its presence as it slowly approached the main island.

Along the way, familiar Linglong Island was littered with corpses, body parts everywhere, many bodies with bite marks from sharp teeth.

However, most of the corpses were of Qi Cultivation Stage sea people.

“Mother, please don’t ignore Niu Niu, Niu Niu is obedient, Niu Niu listens, Mother… Niu Niu hurts…” In front of a collapsed wooden house, a three or four-year-old girl was crying and shaking a woman who had long since lost her breath.

And at that moment, the little girl’s left arm was limp; upon closer inspection, it was apparent her left arm had been violently torn, barely connected by skin and flesh.

Li Jizhou sighed slightly in his heart and controlled Master Huangshi to walk forward,

“Un… Uncle, are you a bad person? Can you save Niu Niu’s mother?” Suddenly sensing Master Huangshi standing in front of her, Niu Niu was obviously startled, her big watery eyes instantly welling with tears. After asking her question, she bit her lower lip expectantly yet fearfully.

“Good child, uncle is not a bad person.” Master Huangshi squatted down and touched Niu Niu’s mother with one hand.

Unfortunately, his time-looping nature, capable of unlimited vitality, could only restore vitality to the living and couldn’t resurrect the dead.

And Niu Niu’s mother had already completely lost all vitality.

“Uncle, please, let my mother wake up. I’ll be good in the future.” Niu Niu hurriedly knelt on the ground.

But as soon as she moved, she pulled at the wound on her left arm. The tear-inducing pain made her rosy little face turn pale in an instant, and her big watery eyes could no longer hold back tears, flooding out, while her weak body could not manage to stay upright, nearly fainting from pain.

“Niu Niu hurts!”

Master Huangshi quickly held her frail shoulders, first infusing a thread of magical power to protect her heart meridian, then gradually transferring vitality into her.

Soon, visibly, new flesh and blood began growing on Niu Niu’s fractured left arm, reconnecting the entire arm.

Once her left arm had healed like new, Niu Niu had already fallen asleep peacefully.

Master Huangshi exhaled a long breath, but as he looked around at the devastation, he could not help but sigh deeply again.

Finally, he gently placed Niu Niu in a nearby undamaged wooden house, then rapidly continued toward the main island.

Meanwhile, the scene from Guagua’s perspective was already transmitted back to Li Jizhou’s sea of consciousness.

The protective array of the main island was shattered, and it was also strewn with bodies.

Tens of thousands of island soldiers gathered to one side, all staring upward.

“Hmph, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, I will count to three. Immediately disperse and enter that sealing array, or I’ll make sure she perishes and this island’s every creature is wiped out!”

In the sky above, a Late Stage Core Formation Corpse General commanded, binding Jiang Li with great magical power, giving a cold snort as he issued orders.

Behind him were five Middle Stage Core Formation Demon Cultivators and thirty-eight Early Stage Core Formation Demon Cultivators.

In addition, there were less than a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivators.

This Corpse General had been similar to the Late Stage Core Formation Corpse General of the Guangyuan Sect and was responsible for guarding the Golden Corpse as the main commander.

A few days ago, he unexpectedly learned that there were many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the Sea Domain.

This discovery, worried about insufficient Foundation Establishment sacrifices, made him decide immediately to come grab sacrifices.

He had initially believed that with such a lineup, success was assured.

As a result, the moment they entered the island, they faced stubborn resistance.

Tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators attacked together; even Core Formation experts could not withstand it, particularly as these island cultivators kept replacing the fallen.

Unwilling to kill off the sacrifices, so it took a bit more effort.

Today, the Corpse General, using divine abilities, infiltrated the island and captured the Island Lord alive, finally forcing these island cultivators to surrender themselves.

What surprised him most was that this woman had actually formed a Golden Core.

If he refined her into a Yin Corpse and then nurtured her in a Spirit Vein Land for eight hundred years, finally with a blood sacrifice, she would certainly become a Great Success Golden Corpse.

But this had little effect on him personally, as a Golden Corpse at its peak might develop its own will, potentially not following his commands.

The best option was to refine her into a Yin Corpse, bind her as a Corpse Puppet, and have her devour blood food to promote.

Although this method was challenging to reach peak power, it would be entirely under his control.

“Island Lord!” Below, all the island soldiers gritted their teeth, eager to perish along with these beasts.

These beasts, controlling Corpse Puppets, had slaughtered their loved ones and even fed them to those Corpse Puppets.

Until now, they still didn’t understand the reason for this unwarranted disaster.

Jiang Li maintained a cold and frosty face, her eyes already bloodshot with helpless emotion, bound by two small levels higher Demon Cultivators, incapable of even the slightest chance to resist, not even to give orders!

She was unwilling!
